Via T.R. Sullivan, Anthony Andro and Jeff Wilson on Twitter, Michael Young has been named to the All Star game, replacing the injured Adrian Beltre on the roster.
That gets the Rangers up to 7 All Stars.
Congrats to Young on being named to the team...
UPDATE -- Well, now there are reports saying that Joe Girardi jumped the gun on the announcement, and that Beltre may play, which would mean Young wouldn't be on the team.
UPDATE II -- The S-T says that Beltre will likely play tomorrow, which means Young wouldn't be an All Star, but it isn't definitive.

Cool!
Hey, has anyone viewed that litho from Wells that is supposed to be for sale now? I really think I am buying one, but I’d love to see it before driving out there.

We went to go look at it
but they only have it at the Texas Rangers Foundation charity sale table, not at the gift shops. By the time we found that out, the table was closed. Not sure it will be for sale anywhere else, though I wish they would. I’m going to go look at the next home game.

7 all-stars
they better win the west and step up their lousy play. don’t get big heads because you’re in first place right now and are all-stars.

He said he would be suprised if MY didn’t get in the game somehow.

I trust the Rangers have never had that many before.
That’s pretty cool; it’ll be like watching the Rangers on tv tomorrow night; only with better managing

Well, this is surprising
this being a front page post to acknowledge something good for Mikey Baseball
Mike Olt - 2013 A.L. Rookie of the Year.
He declined to accept the award as to not show up his fellow rookies. Incentives earned from being named ROY were donated to a local charity. He did not report this donation on his tax return.
The Sheriff
did say he watched a rerun of “House” instead of the pre-game Face Lovefest on Saturday so yeah, I was a little shocked to see this on the front page as well.

OK, I know I should just ignore this
but the “set of tits and your own blog” comment was funny once, in the context you said it. I even rec’d it.
In a signature, as much as you post? It’s offensive and demeaning.

That's some seriously genius marketing right there.
Whoever came up with that needs a promotion!
Just had a feeling...
that somehow he would end up on the team. His grittyness is just too much to ignore.
Seriously though, he’s following last year with another strong season offensively. Nice to see him go. It should be fun to see all these Rangers in the game tomorrow.

I agree on the waste of money
t-shirts wear out….everyone should get a tattoo of CL’s face on their taints like I just did. Overall, tattoos cost less than having to buy and re-buy (not to mention the cost of water, detergent and electricity/gas for the dryer) the same shirt a million times.

Yeah, he didn't answer the question well.
Should have addressed the fact that Beltre might still play. Since that was part of the question.

we're from Texas

In '57 the Reds had every position except first base.
It’s Advil and beef in the Texas Rangers, you yankee bastard.

There's 7 yankees this year
8 yankers in ’04
in 01 there were 8 Mariners and 7 yankees. that’s 15 out of 32 from 2 teams.

OT: Was looking through the '98 and '99 divisional series we were in...
and I had forgotten how badly were were beaten.
In those 6 games, over those 2 years.. we scored 2 runs. 2 FUCKING RUNS.
BADKLJHSDL
I didn't remember only scoring two runs.
But I did completely remember those games feeling completely futile pretty shortly after starting.
In ’99, only three players (Igor, Raffy and Pudge) had multiple hits through the entire series, with the former two getting to three hits. ’98 was even worse. Through the entire series only two guys had multiple hits, and they were Royce Clayton and Todd Ziele. Ziele had three. Six extra-base hits in three games, only one of them more than a double (home run Gonzalez).
Those games didn’t even feel like they happened the destruction was so efficient.
Just heard the ESPN Gameday crew mention Josh
and how “The Rangers have been absolutely on fire.”
Could that 4 game sweep by Baltimore be just a bad dream?
Lets just hope its one of those slumps that every team goes through at some point. Better
now than later in the year I say.
